When it was reported on the radio news yesterday they said “jumped into the engine”. I cannot find anything else to confirm if that’s true. Either way it’s horrific.
For a few years now I’ve thought that the food industry will feature as the next controversy as tobacco has been.

The bottom line is that these ingredients are produced to make food production cheaper but at the expense of a healthy diet. Industry sector lobbying helps these ingredients to the market.
There was a time that the UK government had China involved in the development of a new nuclear power station, Sizewell C. They corrected their mistake.
Competition was always going to happen it was just a question of when and to what degree. The established car makers weren’t going to sit around and watch Tesla take their market share. But the rise of Chinese car manufacturers hitting the EV market has been swift and brutal. These are huge companies that are generally unheard of in the West such as BYD.
Edit, the link is almost a year old so I suspect figures have changed a fair bit since.
Here in the UK the price of a delivered newspaper is as high as £3.40 midweek (The Financial Times).
Your typical weekly rag could set you back between £7.80 to £22 per week.
The last time I bought a newspaper was about 10 years ago and that was to light a fire! Yet I avoid pay wall as I do not feel I’m getting as much as a physical paper.
